Hey whats up guys, this is more directly towards Sage but any type of input is always welcomed
So basically I wanted to ask if I could use the beat from
The Best of Times
and add lyrics based off of the game World of Warcraft
As of now there are about 11million active World of Warcraft players

I make videos for a youtube channel called Machinima Realm, which is a branch off of the main Machinima channel.
The Machinima main channel has 11,782,612 subscribers
and Machinima Realm has 95,935

I don't know if you would be willing to allow me to or not,
but I wouldn't get an answer if I didn't ask.

So let me know what you think and then we'll just take it from there depending on the outcome.
then I can show you the lyrics, or my ideas for the video and stuffff
or just close the door on the project all together

Strange that you would ask this question here rather than hit me up directly about it via the same backchannel I activated your username from. Regardless, "The Best of Times" is not owned by me, especially not the music. That is owned by Epitaph and Yann Tiersen. So before I help you figure out how to jump through those industry hoops I'd like to see the lyrics posted here.

thanks man

Its been a long and lonely trip but I'm glad I took it because it was well worth it
I got to do a lot of quests and a lot of grinding, but they gave me a little gold and xp to stop my whinning
Never thought that I'd hit 60, Always thought that I was worthless
Used to wonder if I'd live to see my first tier

The most difficult thing I ever did was apply to my first guild with no experience
Realizing that the officer I was asking wasn't recruiting
Or maybe they were but they just laughed at my 60% speed mount
Gold used to matter then, and there was no Ni How

Conviently a healer for raids and instances
I was a druid back then so I had no other option
If you could heal then you healed cause it was a 40man dungeon
Wearing blues and greens was pretty common

I remember the times of the Warlords, walking around in their massive shoulders
Spent a bunch of time complaining about how no one killed their healers
I fell in love for the first time while raiding, a massive red dragon that blows you up for progression
Once we got to Nefarion I accidently rezzed the wrong person

It was a dps, not a healer, not a tank he was worthless
I considered Alt F4ing cause of it
It was a big deal, I just wasted my cooldown
For 30more minutes I was just a walking cow
After that I was forced to shift into a cat
I blew my chances, no loot for me
Its alright though, in Burning Crusade I became an OP tree

Blood Elf paladins and Draeni Shamans?
The first night of launch thats all you could see
I started leveling my Alts cause it was so easy
But this isn't about my journey, its about the world around me
Illidan had claimed outland, talkin about how we are not prepared
Lady Vashj was in SSC
Archimond was to busy humping some tree
Poor Kaelthas didn't even matter, I wonder if he lived long enough to realize what happened

A year later the Sunwell PLatue came out, did any of you even step into that while you were level capped
I tried it once or twice, but I never got to roll the dice
But I still think about the Vanilla and BC
Like when you fought Chromagnus with the sands of time
Or when you became the bomb and the Baron blew you sky high
Did you ever wipe on the chess event, you don't have to say sometimes its best to just keep somethings private.

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.

I was always changing talents so dual spec saved me sometime
Now im a healer, slash tank, slash dps, my bags are always full cause I got so many sets
We all got the chills when Arthas came out, but hes the lich king now there was no doubt
Naxx came back it moved to dragonblight
The secrets of Ulduar were locked up tight
Brann wanted to see so we smashed the gates
It seems the Titans had already sealed our fate

It was the best of times.

It was beautiful
It was brutal
It was cruel
It was buisness as usual

It was heaven, it was hell.
Used to wonder if I'd live to see Kingslayer

When I did I figured that I was immortal.
I almost died once but I did a barrel roll
Couldn't bear watching my immaginary toon wipe on raids with my main crew

Bolvar was talking about some Jailor
But I was too busy dancing with the healers
He was scared of the scourge who would roam the earth
so he sat back on that Frozen Throne

Fire dps, Shadow dps
I can't explain my byass for fire,
Well you know it looks cool
like a super fast snake coming at your face on fire

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.

Now were going after deathwing
The world if on fire, zones splitting down the middle but now we get to bring our flyers
New proffession called Archeology but I don't know anything about it so don't ask me

Maybe i'll roll a goblin, maybe shaman
But for damn sure I wont make a worgen
Cause I stay true, Lok'Tar Ogar
Some of you wanted to change faces, but a lot of you also changed races.

It was the best of times. It was the end of times.

Now I wonder if i'll live to see Deathwing
Wonder if I'll live long enough for phase2
Wonder if I'll live to see past phase2
If you do then you know im with my crew

Don't listen when they tell you that these are the best years
Don't let anybody tell you how to PvP
Especially if your on a server thats PvE
Brewfest won't give you freemounts
The Horseman won't drop his pet
When you think you've got it all figured out and then cataclysm happens,
trust me noob, its not the end of the world.

I did not know that you personally handled it.
Otherwise I would have

Any input on the lyrics is greatly appreciated
I worked on this alone up until now
